Yannerz Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi all, just picked up my second zed after a 5 year gap! Had forgotten how good they are! Unfortunately i have just developed the dreadded knocking noise in the near side front suspension. Took it into nissan cardiff and they very kindly offered to replace the banana arm for the nice sum of £380 +VAT!!!!!!! needless to say i am trying to find an alternative solution as it seems to only be the bush that needs changing and not the whole arm? can anyone help please?

GMballistic Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Welcome aboard. You could try a PM on here to a trader called Alex who may be able to help you out with a good condition used unit for a lot less if he has one. I live in Cardiff and a local independent garage that I use which I'd recommend is PantBach Auto Centre. Tel: 02920619209. They are based on Pantbach Road, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, CF14 1TW and should be able to fit the bush or banana arm for a lot cheaper than the dealers ever could. Hope that helps.

I'm based in Llantrisant and can't find any around as? Don't know any "Zed specialists" around our area tbh unfortunately. The garage I mentioned have worked on my Zed before and the owner Lee is a trustworthy guy imo.They are the only place locally which I tend to use (trust) but for the more specialized things I'm going to be using Horsham Developments who come highly recommended and are only about an hour or so drive for us from the Cardiff area. http://h-dev.co.uk/index2.php?page=home They're a registered trader on here too so you can always shoot them a PM to price up any work you want done etc or just give them a call.

Thanks again for the contact details! No problem.It's only a small garage but I have been using them for around 4+ years or so now. Known Lee for longer than that though & he is a good guy. Tell him Gareth with the 350Z sent you his way & says Hi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
